Dr. Michelle Collie, DPT, MS, OCS
Owner & CEO
Performance Physical Therapy


BORN AND RAISED on a sheep farm in New Zealand, Dr. Michelle Collie was drawn to physical therapy after her life-changing experience as a 15-year-old basketball player with a devastating injury. Her experience as a patient of an inspirational physical therapist became the catalyst to a career in physical therapy. As owner and CEO, she has led Performance Physical Therapy with passion, courage, and authenticity for more than 20 years.

Her passion for helping people is matched only by her drive for igniting industry-wide changes. As President of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), Rhode Island chapter, Dr. Collie regularly advocates for alternative payment models focused on clinical outcomes and higher standards of care. 

After decades of leading her team to continually raise the standard of care, be innovative, and question the status quo in the field, she’s now evolving the company name to reflect that high standard. Dr. Collie’s team is revolutionizing the physical therapy industry and changing people’s lives, challenging themselves and their patients to reach new goals. That is the basis for the company’s evolved name, which will be announced in the coming months.

“I believe that change is a constant in life and in healthcare, so we need to embrace it if we want to provide the best care for our patients. During the pandemic, we integrated new telehealth services so our patients didn’t have to lose the progress they worked so hard for. My goal for Performance is to grow forward and find ways to improve the patient experience while investing in the incredible clinicians who work hard to empower our patients to feel better, move freely, and live fully,” said Dr. Collie.
